# What’s blocking the restart?

Know what’s ready before you restart. Every inspection. Every certificate. Every open issue.

3. Plant restart

## A restart is decided by paperwork.

The maintenance is finished. Whether the plant can start depends on what every inspection, certificate, permit and work order says. And those records sit in different systems, formats and filing cabinets.

### Scattered.

Certificates, permits and work orders live in different systems and on paper. No single view of what’s complete.

### Checked by hand.

Engineers compare finished work against the restart procedure line by line. It can take longer than the work itself.

### Found too late.

An expired certificate or open snag surfaces at the final go/no-go review. The restart slips.

## What the AI reads.

Every record the restart depends on, in whatever form it arrives, checked against the requirement it has to satisfy.

### At work

1. [Sense](https://dscvryai.com/technology/sense/) Reads scans, PDFs, photos and exports.
2. [Understand](https://dscvryai.com/technology/understand/) Pulls out tag, date, signatory and result.
3. [Check](https://dscvryai.com/technology/check/) Checks each record against its requirement.
4. [Anticipate](https://dscvryai.com/technology/anticipate/) Flags what expires or slips before restart.
5. [Operate](https://dscvryai.com/technology/operate/) Sends each gap to its owner and keeps it live.

### Out

One readiness record. Every line carries its evidence.

## One live record. Evidence on every line.

Not a dashboard to interpret. A readiness record your engineers and operations leads can review together.

## Built for the plant network.

Restart records sit on the operational side of the fence. The AI can run there too.

### Runs where the records are.

On-premise, at the edge, or fully air-gapped. The records never have to leave the site.

### People make the call.

The AI prepares the decision and shows its working. Your engineers confirm, override and sign.

How Operate works

### The record outlives the restart.

Every judgement, override and sign-off is kept, ready for the next shutdown and the next audit.
